Thank you! I managed it with this function - for a data fram with x and y coordinates: anglefun-function(x,y,unit=degrees) {x.new-outer(x,x,-); y.new-outer(y,y,-);angles-atan2(x.new,y.new);diag(angles)-NA;if(unit == degrees) return(180*angles/pi) if (unit == radians) return(angles)} returns a

[R] Calculate directions between points

Hi everyone, i have a matrix of points and want to calculate the direction and length of each vector between the points. I can easily calculate the length with dist(testdata), but is their a function that returns a matrix of the direction of the vectors between points (angles 0-360°)?
